I really want to love this place. Like someone else said, I have a love/hate relationship with this market. You will not find better prices, but you get what you pay for. The Mesa location is ALWAYS a zoo. I just got back from the AJ location (a little off the beaten path but way less crowded) and I got 3 packets of strawberries for $1. My son eats strawberries everyday, I couldn't pass it up!
We get the strawberries home and maybe got a bowl full out of the 3 packets. They were all moldy or about to turn. I'm so disappointed as I love to shop local. I also live in Phoenix, so what it costs in gas to get out there, isn't worth the product I get. We did luck out with some lemons, peaches, watermelon, and carrots. But, its just not worth 2 hours out of my day to make the drive. I'll pay more and shop at Sprouts instead.
